Read our latest paper which provides insight on BAT. Basophil activation is when a type of white blood cell called basophils becomes active in response to something harmful, like an allergen. When this happens, basophils release substances that can trigger allergy symptoms, like itching, sneezing, and inflammation. It's part of the body's defense mechanism, but in allergies, it can cause unwanted reactions.
Caspases and therapeutic potential of caspase inhibitors in moderate–severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and long COVID. Our preliminary results suggest an exuberant caspase response in COVID-19 that may facilitate immune-related pathological processes leading to severe outcomes. Further clinical correlations of caspase expression in different stages of COVID-19 will be needed.
